Love's Cunning Ruse novel Chapter 208

When Kieran brought Julie back to his bedroom, she finally realized, "So, Ivan tricked me, huh?"

"Theoretically, we can rule out the 'this kid looks like you' possibility. Your failed exams were because you genuinely didn't know the answers, but this kid's fails were on purpose."

Julie was left speechless. She had seen people with bad grades strive to improve, but never someone with good grades purposefully fail.

"Isn't it a bad habit to lie all the time?" she asked.

Kieran nodded, "Definitely, that's why from now on, we're gonna teach this kid to stop lying."

Suddenly, Julie felt a mountain of responsibility on her shoulders.

"Who's taking the first shower, you or me?" He looked at the bathroom and added, "Or do we shower together?"

"I'll go first." Julie grabbed her nightgown and went into the bathroom.

Kieran reminded her from behind, "Don't get your wound wet."

"Okay!"

Even though Julie replied quickly, how could she prevent her arm wound from getting wet?

So, she eventually came out of the bathroom with a damp wound.

Kieran, who was waiting outside, had apparently anticipated this. He had already prepared ointment. Seeing Julie coming out, he directly pulled her to sit by the bed.

She was wearing her champagne-colored robe, with a somewhat low neckline.

Kieran squatting in front of her, could easily see her enticing figure with a glance.

Feeling a bit embarrassed, Julie covered her neckline and complained, "Daniel probably likes this style..."

"I like it too."

Kieran's voice suddenly sounded in the quiet room.

His casual response left her stunned. She looked up and asked, "What?"

"I like it too. I like this nightgown, and I like you." He gently rolled up her sleeve.

He looked at her wound, frowned, then went into the wardrobe and took out a strap nightgown for her, saying, "Long-sleeved nightgowns aren't breathable and can rub the wound. Put this on!"

Julie held the strap nightgown in a daze.

Kieran glanced at her and said, "This is a more conservative style. Don't you like it? I can get you a sexier one."

As he spoke, he was about to take back the nightgown from her hands.

Julie quickly grabbed the nightgown and went into the bathroom to change.

Just like Kieran said, this nightgown was more conservative, only revealing above her chest and below her knees. Looking at herself in the mirror, she felt a mix of emotions.

Her face in the mirror was a bit red, obviously flustered by his words.

She didn't know what she was holding onto. She knew that some things were bound to happen sooner or later. Kieran's current behavior was respecting her, she understood that. But for some reason, she always felt some doubts and always felt like something was missing...

Taking a deep breath, Julie pushed the bathroom door open.

Kieran sitting by the bed, ointment in hand. Julie walked straight to Kieran.

While Kieran sitting on the bed hadn't reacted yet, Julie suddenly pushed him, making him fall back on the bed, then she directly pressed him under her.

To Julie's sudden initiative, Kieran didn't feel surprised but rather a bit panicked.

He reached out to support her waist, afraid she might accidentally fall and get hurt. She sat on him, looking down at him, feeling her face getting hotter. She gathered up courage to ask Kieran, "How do you feel?"

Holding the ointment tightly in his hand, Kieran asked, "How do you feel now?"

"Is my face very red?" Her voice was very soft.

Kieran nodded. She looked like a ripe red apple, surprisingly attractive.

She gently closed her lips, propped her hands beside his ears, then suddenly leaned in and bent over to kiss his lips. She bit his lip softly. Julie's heart pounded as if it was about to jump out. Her hands clenched into fists.

Suddenly, the man under her reached out to grab her shoulders, separating her lips from his.

Julie opened her eyes, innocently looking at Mr. Hernandez lying under her, her face turning even redder.

"Are you sure?" He asked her. His breathing seemed a bit difficult, and his voice sounded a bit hoarse.

After a long silence, she nodded slightly, then said, "Will you betray me?"

He had said before that she was the only one he couldn't promise. After asking this question, Julie regretted it. She suddenly covered his mouth, not letting him speak.

He gently held her wrist, removed her hand from his mouth, and interlocked fingers with her.
